I visited turn the page with a gift card and I loved their selection of books which was a combination of local Indy authors, best sellers and some really good picks by the store owners themselves. I had a great time chatting and picked up a book basis the book keeper and a friendly customers recommendation. The store is small but still houses lovely reading couches and a kids play area.

But I still enjoyed seeing their thought-out displays and standard shelves.

I'll happily visit again next time I'm in the area.

Loudmouth Books is such a jewel!…read more It's a small bookstore that is expertly curated. It sells a bit of everything, from contemporary, romance, LGBTQ and historical fiction, as well as an array of non-fiction, cookbooks, kids, YA and other bits, The clerk who helped us was also quick with great recommendations. It was hard to decide, and in the end I got a novel I had been eying and a book-themed T-shirt. This bright spot -- both literally with its big front windows and figuratively with its wonderful selection -- made book shopping fun. A great spot to visit while in Indy!

Indy's bookshop scene is really incredible. This was my first time popping into Loudmouth Books and…read moreit certainly won't be my last. I love how vibrant the space is and was warmly greeted the second I walked in. There's a lovely separate room that has a selection of kids & YA options and some cozy bean bags if I remember correctly .

My youngest child's birthday has happened to coincide with the pre-order dates for the new Diary of…read morea Wimpy Kid book for a few years now. (That Jeff Kinney cranks 'em out every year! I don't know how he does it.) Anyway, on my kid's birthday wish list each year is the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. You want a book for your birthday, my child? I'm happy to oblige. This same kid also recently asked me to buy him broccoli so he can eat it raw. He's a treasure. I try, each year, to pre-order the books at local Indy bookstores. Support local, and all that. This year, I pre-ordered the book at MacArthur Books in The Village of WestClay. I had visited this adorable Carmel bookstore during a Yelp event a couple of years ago, and I told myself that I needed to come back. Pre-ordering my book was super easy. I called them on the phone and told them that I wanted to pre-order the book, and they took down my name and number, and told me they'd text me when it was in. I suppose, if you don't want to call them on the phone, you can stop into the store. They didn't make me prepay or anything. When the book was in, I got a text saying so, and I went and paid for my book and brought it home. My child was so happy! MacArthur Books hosts book events, like drop-in book clubs. They're also very active on social media. The bookstore itself is a cozy place to read (they have comfy chairs here and there), plus a cute children's area.

McKayla, the clerk, greeted us with a big smile and offered to help us find something meaningful. They carry a wonderful selection of books and assorted gifts. I sat in one of their big comfy chairs and read excerpts from various books. And the best part is that they wrapped my puzzle for free! What a great deal! There's limited parking out front but you can usually find something along the street.

I've been meaning to check this store out, and I'm glad I did! It's beautiful with so many options…read moreto choose from! I ended up getting 2 books some pins and a sticker!

The Garden of Readin' is a fantastic bookstore. The vibes are immaculate--pinks and greens and…read moreflorals abound inside. I was greeted right away by Bre'Anna, co-owner of the store. She detailed where I'd find the different genres of books, then I was off to explore. They have a few different rooms full of books in a variety of genres and age ranges. Romance, thriller, teen/YA, fantasy, memoir, children's books, themed coloring books, and more. There's a mix of new and used books, and the prices were very fair. I spent a lot of time exploring their shelves! They make good use of the space, with several nooks and wall spaces holding even more items. They have free coffee and tea you can help yourself to; just pick your favorite and use the little Keurig. I had a garden tea--ginger peach green tea--and it was nice to sip as I perused. If you're looking to treat yourself to some extra goodies along with your books, don't miss the bookish apparel, candles, and stickers! On my visit, they had these hand painted floral glass mugs too. So pretty! I could easily put together a really nice gift here, which is always a nice bonus in a bookshop. I enjoyed my visit Garden of Readin' and walked out with a sticker and a special edition fantasy novel. This place is a gem, and I'm looking forward to more visits in the future!

Honestly, this place is magical. It's part bookstore, part typewriter retail and repair shop, part…read morevenue, part gift store. I'm a writer by profession, so to be surrounded by books and 'zines and magazines and comics, AND the instruments by which to create these things? It makes a person feel a certain sort of way, you know? Indy Type Shop is freaking fantastic. When I visited, the owners were busy setting up for a book swap event, which they kindly told me all about and invited me to stay and participate. I had no books to trade, but I'll definitely be back for the next one in the coming months. Indy Type Shop is the type of place where you'll find gifts for the extraordinary people in your life. The kind of people who appreciate old things with history and a story behind them. Along with a shockingly large number of vintage typewriters for sale, you'll also find things like old typesetting letters, vintage cameras, matchbooks, art prints, and all sorts of precious, one-of-a-kind relics from a time when people used typewriters. There are also lots of books, including a huge collection of poetry. There's also a shelf with 'zines, which don't have a set price, but you're encouraged to make an offer. This place is unique and wonderful, and I'm so glad that it exists in Indianapolis.

For all things typewriter, this husband and wife are the real deal. They've restored hundreds of…read moretypewriters since this became their hobby. Outside of typewriters, this shop carries tons of media from stamps to greeting cards to novels to comic books. If you like to browse, this place may keep you interested for an hour. If you like historical and edgy material, you'll love this content. No matter your budget, you can find a unique gift for someone's special life event. A little platform is inside for shows, like reading poetry. The owner shared plans to develop an outside patio space that will also have concerts/shows. This business started as a pop-up but now proudly has invested in a brick & mortar in Garfield Park neighborhood. If you're in the area and hungry, check out Parkside Public and Cafe Babette that are within eyesight. If you need a place to sit and read your new book, take it to Garfield Park or Conservatory across the street.

It's a couple storefronts away from Danville Dips. I love bookstores like The Authors' Patch. It "feels" like it's designed by a writer with its wood interior, warm atmosphere, and inspired decor. The Authors' Patch is bigger than you expect it to be. You can grab a drink, grab a chair, and immerse yourself in a diverse reading selection that includes local authors (including Valt), rare finds, used books, new selections, and more. The Authors' Patch hosts book signings (If I ever finish that ever elusive second book, I could easily see myself saying "The Authors' Patch, please?" I didn't get much time here, however, it was a sublime way to wind down after an emotional day clearing out my father's home. You can park on the town square (free 2-hour parking for most folks; 5-hour parking for disabled/accessible spots). The Authors' Patch does have a very slight step going into it, a point to note for those with accessibility needs. The bookstore itself is surprisingly accessible - only a couple tight spots. Again, I didn't get much time here. There's no doubt I'll be back when there's time to really browse and relax. Fun facts about the owner - she previously worked on the Child Sex Abuse Team for DCS. She lives in Danville with her husband on a farm that includes donkeys, cows, chickens, alpacas, and goats. I love indie bookstores. This locally owned, author owned bookstore is an absolute gem with a writer's vibe, a creative energy, and a warm sense of welcome. The Authors' Patch offers free wifi along with a variety of drinks or snacks for purchase. There's no question I'll be back.

At the cash register you'll find cool bookmarks and some things made on their 3D printer. They also sell a few snacks and some drinks for you to enjoy.
